Hi there!I've a dinner guest tonight ... Stella's son Martijn is coming over so I've done some baking and before I start the preparations for our meal I've a card to share that I'm linking up with the new challenge at

I spoke too soon in my last post ... The April showers have arrived Lol! So whilst the JUGS inspiration photo shows beautiful Spring tulips I'm using umbrellas! Well, the die was still on my desk from my previous card and I love that little die

I painted some card stock in various colours before adding some splats and then die cutting the umbrellas -

It's been really sunny and warm here when normally we have the traditional April showers ... Ginger cat and I have been able to sit in the garden under the sun umbrella which was my inspiration for the card I have to share for The Card Concept

Such lovely colours here aren't they?

Here's my card in full

I noticed the silver elements in the photo together with those lovely greys, the bright patterned pink and the glimpse of frames... Hence the frame, the silver sequins and word and the little touches of silver added to the umbrella

My problem is what category to enter this in ... Is it CAS or Clean and layered?

It's easy to replicate but it does have a couple of images - I think I'll go for CAS

How are you all? I hope you had a good weekend ... My day out yesterday didn't go as planned ... DH decided to do some painting so we only managed to get out for a couple of hours but hey, I'm used to him changing his mind ...

Anyway it gave me time to make a start on my project for my group at Thursday Club ...

A while ago the Uber talented Shari Carroll came up with This amazing creation and I thought it would be perfect to create a similar one for the group ... given that they are mentally and physically challenged, as long as I cut everything ready for them to stick, they can cope and they LOVE taking their creations home ...

So here's a sample of my version that the class will be doing

Cute huh?

I just cut out 198 of those stars ... My Big Shot is exhausted Lol!

On another note - It's so hot outside right now and yet my DH had to scrape ice from his car this morning ... weird weather!
